[PATCH wireless-next 02/15] wifi: mac80211: Fix uninitialized variable with __free() in ieee80211_ml_epcs()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Pagadala Yesu Anjaneyulu <pagadala.yesu.anjaneyulu@xxxxxxxxx>

The cleanup attribute runs kfree() when the variable goes out of scope.
There is a possibility that the link_elems variable is uninitialized
if the loop ends before an assignment is made to this variable.
This leads to uninitialized variable bug.

Fix this by assigning link_elems to NULL.
